I just bought a 1014 and it seems like a nice unit. I followed the advice from this forum and bought one. I am new to all this surround sound stuff and am a little puzzeled why the unit won't decode DVD's. I hit the auto surround sound button and it always comes up with STEREO as the source. It never comes up with any of the surround sound formats. I can manually select them but then it is only simulating surround sound is it not? According to the manual it should find and decode whatever format is there and the correct mode indicator should light up like dolby prologic etc. I have tried Matrix Reloded, Star Wars, and AI. What am I doing wrong here. The DVD player is connected by analog cable connections for Audio and Video.
